This request will cover the cost of materials and enable the farm to house more birds, protect them from predators and weather, and improve their quality of life. Located in Carroll County, Seven Mornings is owned by Pauline Thiessen, our Fresh Foods Manager and one of our two women only owned farms. She co-operates the farm with her partner Justin Rescorl, and together they raise cage free eggs for our Co-Op and Atlas restaurant, grow a homestead garden, and manage an orchard.

Last month for our virtual cheese and chocolate class, $10 from every ticket sold was donated to Level Up. They are also the recipient of our community share donation for December and January. All in all, we were able to raise over $400 for Level Up! We are happy to put money back in the community and see it be put to good use. We value all of our staff members at the Co-Op and want to support and encourage them to succeed in their lives outside of work too!
